After stamping the sweet little bird fromODBD "You Will Find Refuge", it was colored using copics, cut out, and popped up! The background was embossed using a Sizzix E/F. A Spellbinder's Nestie was used to cut the oval for the center. The sentiment is from ODBD'S Scripture Series 2! I added color to some of the embossed leaves at the bottom and some red stickles for berries at the top of the D/P!

This is lovely Fran! I can't tell you how many times I have turned to this little chickadee image. He is one of my all time favs... and your coloring is SO BEAUTIFUL! I love how you nestled him onto that serene white background! SO very lovely! Blessings...

Fran, oh my word, I don't know how you do it, but each and every time I come here I see another MASTERPIECE!!! You are SO good with putting different elements together and this card, wow, it is absolutely amazing!! Love the way you have colored that chickadee I can't get him to look anywhere close to that!! I think I need to come and get some lessons in coloring him. ;D Have a blessed weekend! Hugs, Sabrina
